Ovarian cysts are sacs of tissues, which develop within the ovaries. A very common issue for many women, they are most often completely painless and do not require treatment. However, whilst most remain small and are formed as a normal part of the menstrual cycle, there are some which need ovarian cysts surgery.
Whilst most cysts remain benign, (harmless), they can turn malignant (cancerous). However, this cannot be ascertained until looked at under a microscope.
Procedures to operate are relatively straight forward, but do require general anesthetic and, as with any form of surgery, risks do exist. Two options are offered depending on severity and suspicions of malignancy.
The first technique is a laparoscopy.
A form of keyhole surgery, two incisions are made and a tube with a microscope attached inserted. Gas is used to move the walls of the abdomen away from the organs, and the surgeon removes all or part of the cysts using small tools.
As this surgery is relatively pain free, does not require an overnight stay, and has minimal risks of affecting a women's fertility, it is the preferred method of treatment.
However, should the cyst be suspected as being cancerous, or be quite large, a laparotomy will most likely be recommended by the medical team.
This is a more serious form of surgery, but still relatively straight forward. It requires a cut to be made at the top of the pubic hairline; to allow greater access for the surgeon. In such surgery, the cyst will always be removed completely. It will require at least an overnight stay.
Whatever type of ovarian cysts surgery is advised, all details will be thoroughly explained. As is necessary, further surgery may of course be required, though this is seldom the case
